Andrew Carnie's artistic practice is crossed by the dialogue between science and art, deploying his professional and academic career in the artistic and scientific fields. Through different media and formats, from organic materials, drawing, watercolor, oil painting, and audiovisual projections, Carnie creates a hybrid and transdisciplinary art that makes the viewer reflect on himself.
The world of science and art starts from the same stimulus: curiosity and wonder. Both the artist and the scientist have the talent to detect the strangeness in some dimension or segment of that which is naturalized. In this sense, both generate a fissure in the surface of reality and, in a certain way, stop its course to question it. Where science tries to understand and get answers, art throws unanswered questions and multiplies the astonishment by transferring it to others.
Carnie's work is about questioning what is going on around him. The artist is also concerned with the idea of life itself; where we come from and where we are going. In this way, the artist's projects range from multidisciplinary works that involve the scientific community, such as the joint work with neurologist Dr. Richard Wingate, and to engagement with historical anatomists like Santiago Ramon y Cahal in "Winter Tree".
